The Dirty Side of the Storm: Poems
Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
In poems that bear witness to the eroding bayou country and its Cajun culture, Martha Serpas venerates a vanishing landscape defined by watersensuous, fecund, and destructive. As marsh turns into gulf, identity and consciousness are transformed as well. Serpas's verses invest paradox with her own defiantly spiritual meaning.

Finally, a poet for the 21st century!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Martha Serpas has compiled a elegy to Louisiana, New Orleans, and the people of the region that will stand as perhaps the most elegant and eloquent testimony to our Southern wounds. Serpas's poetry is remarkably readable with a lyricism and depth that echo long after you close the book. Bravo! for the Dirty Side of the Storm.
Breathtaking

Martha Serpas' poetry is always gritty, lush and evocative. This new volume is absolutely stunning.
